El Akllahuasi Corridor, the Ingapirca Fortress is an Archaeological Complex (authentically Incan-Cañari construction) at 3,180 meters (10,433 ft) above sea level, Cañar Province, the Southern Highlands, Ecuador.
The akllahuasi corridor, after the latest archaeological astronomical investigations, has acquired a fundamental importance, as it would be the third and perhaps the most evident in Ingapirca (the first was in Pilaloma, the second among the Palaces) which, given its orientation, location and architectural details, allows to demonstrate with surprising precision the phenomenon of the summer solstice, that is to say on June 21 of each year in Ecuador.
